Genesis 43 (RHG)

1Ehon o dešot raṭ beši hora.Now the famine was still severe in the land.

2Toi hitara Mišorottu ze gĩyu annil, hin beggun zehon haiya šeš oiye, hitarar bafe hitarare hodde, "Tũwara abar zo, edde ãralla aro olfo haiddo kini ano."So when Jacob’s sons had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go back and buy us a little more food.”

3Toi Ehudaye hibare hodde, "Kintu he manušwaye ãrare hũšiyari diye edde hoiye, 'Tũwarar bái fũwati no takile tũwara ãr sarme no aiššo.'But Judah replied, “The man solemnly warned us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’

4Tũi zodi ãrar fũwati ãrar báiyore zaito do, ãra lamat zaiyum edde tũwalla haiddo kini aniyum.If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you.

5Ar zodi no defeṛo, ãra no zaiyum, kiyollahoile he manušwaye ãrare hoiye, 'Tũwarar bái fũwati no takile tũwara ãr sarme no aiššo.'"But if you will not send him, we will not go; for the man told us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’”

6Toi Israile hodde, "Tũwara he manušware tũwarattu ar ek bãi ase hoiyore kiyolla tũwara ãr loi endilla bura ham gorila?"“Why did you bring this trouble upon me?” Israel asked. “Why did you tell the man you had another brother?”

7Hitara hodde, "Manušwaye ãrar babute edde ãrar foribaror babute zora zori gori endilla hoi fusar goijje. 'Tũwarar baf ki ehono zinda ne? Tũwarattu ki aro ek bái ase?' Ar ãra hibare ei suwal okkol mozin zuwab diyi. Henot ãra ken gori zaniyum ze hite hoibo, 'Tũwarar báiyore eṛe ano?'"They replied, “The man questioned us in detail about ourselves and our family: ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ And we answered him accordingly. How could we possibly know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother here’?”

8Toi Ehudaye hibar baf Israilore hodde, "Fuwaware ãr fũwati defeṛo, ãra uṛi edde baisa di, toi zene ãra, tũi edde ãrar fuwain šoho, ãra forane basi edde no mori.And Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and we will go at once, so that we may live and not die—neither we, nor you, nor our children.

9Ãi nize hitar zabin roilam; hitare tũi ãr hatottu gosi loiyo. Ãi zodi hitare tũwarar hãse uwafes firai no ani toile ãi hara zibon tũwar hãse hosurbon oi takiyum.I will guarantee his safety. You may hold me personally responsible. If I do not bring him back and set him before you, then may I bear the guilt before you all my life.

10Ãra eto deri no goritam boli etone hameka ãra dui bar zaiyore uwafes ai faittam."If we had not delayed, we could have come and gone twice by now.”

11Toi hitarar baf Israile hodde, "Zodi hen gora fore, toile endilla goro: Manušwalla ek hadiya hisabe tũwarar bosta okkolot dešor nam gora ziniš okkolottu kissu lo, olfo duf, olfo rezom, olfo modu, kušbo mosolla, pistašo dana edde badam.Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your packs and carry them down as a gift for the man—a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds.

12Ar tũwara fũwati ḍabol ṭĩya lo, kiyollahoile bostar mukot ze ṭĩya firi aišše, hin firai diya foribo. Oitfare hiyan ekkan hono bul oiye.Take double the silver with you so that you may return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake.

13Tũwarar báiyore lo edde zolti he manušwar hãse uwafes zo.Take your brother as well, and return to the man at once.

14Šorbo Šoktiwala Allaye gorok zene he manušwaye tũwarare doya gore, toi hite tũwarar dusora bái edde Benyaminore tũwarar fũwati defeṛa. Ar ãttu zodi fuwain hara owa forile o, fuwain hara oilam."May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother along with Benjamin. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”

15Toi manušgunore he hadiya, hatot ḍabol ṭĩya edde Benyaminore loiyore hitara uiṭṭe edde Mišorot lami giye edde Yusufor sarme hazir oiyegoi.So the men took these gifts, along with double the amount of silver, and Benjamin as well. Then they hurried down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

16Yusufe hitarar fũwati Benyaminore dekiyore hibaye hibar gór sõloya ze, hitare hodde, "Ei manuššunore góror butore loiza, ar ek zanuwar zorgorao edde hanar bondobos goro; itara dũijja ãr fũwati hána háibo."When Joseph saw Benjamin with his brothers, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, for they shall dine with me at noon.”

17Manuššuwaye Yusufe hoilde hendilla goijje, hitarare Yusufor górot loigiye.The man did as Joseph had commanded and took the brothers to Joseph’s house.

18Kintu hitarare Yusufor górot loizarbar, hitara ḍoraiye, ar hitara hodde, "Agor baror ze ṭĩya ãrar bostat gori firigilgoi hinor befare ãrare eṛe ana oiye. Ehon itara ãrare duš dehai akromon gori faribo. Ãrar gadagun hari loifelaibo edde ãrare gulam banaifelibo."But the brothers were frightened that they had been taken to Joseph’s house. “We have been brought here because of the silver that was returned in our bags the first time,” they said. “They intend to overpower us and take us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”

19Toi hitara Yusufor gór sõloyar hãse giye edde hitar loi goror dorozar ḍake hitar loi hota hoiye,So they approached Joseph’s steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.

20edde hodde, "Oh malik, ãra iyar age o ek bar haiddo kinto aiššilam.“Please, sir,” they said, “we really did come down here the first time to buy food.

21Kintu ãra zẽtte fõtot rait haṛaibolla tiyaiyi, edde ãrar bosta kuilli, ar so, fotti ek ekzon zar zar ṭĩya bostar mukot, ãrar nizor ṭiya furafuri uzon mozin, ar ehon hin ãrar fũwati anni.But when we came to the place we lodged for the night, we opened our sacks and, behold, each of us found his silver in the mouth of his sack! It was the full amount of our silver, and we have brought it back with us.

22Hin bade o haiddo kinibolla fũwati ãra aro ṭĩya anni. Ãrar ei ṭiya ãrar bostat hone di rakkil hiyan ãra no zani."We have brought additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.”

23Toi hite hodde, "Tũwarar balai ok, no ḍoraiyo. Tũwarar Allah edde tũwarar bafor Allaye tũwarar bostat gayebi dón diyede; tũwarar ṭĩya ãi failam." Bade hite Simeonore hitarar hãse ainne.“It is fine,” said the steward. “Do not be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, gave you the treasure that was in your sacks. I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.

24Bade manuššuwaye hitarare Yusufor góror butore ainne, fani diye toi hitara hitarar ṭeng duiye, ar hite hitarar gadagunore adar diye.And the steward took the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water to wash their feet, and provided food for their donkeys.

25Yusuf dujja aibo boli hitara hadiyagunore tiyar gori raikke, kiyollahoile hitara funnil ze hitarar há fiya heṛe oibo.Since the brothers had been told that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon.

26Tarfore Yusuf górot aišše, toi hitara ze hadiya okkol ainne hinore góror butore loi zaiyore hibar sarme raikke edde hitara hibar sarme meṛir uite foijje.When Joseph came home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought, and they bowed to the ground before him.

27Hibaye hitara ken ase he hóbor loi bade hibaye hodde, "Tũwarar ze burá bafor babute ãre hoila hiba bala ase ne? Hiba ki ehono basi ase?"He asked if they were well, and then he asked, “How is your elderly father you told me about? Is he still alive?”

28Hitara hodde, "Õnor gulam ãrar baf ehono basi ase, ar hiba ehono basi ase." Toi hitara meṛit uite foijje edde Yusufore ijjot dehaiye.“Your servant our father is well,” they answered. “He is still alive.” And they bowed down to honor him.

29Ar Yusufe suk tuli saiye edde hibar nizor mar fut, afon bái Benyaminore deikke, "Ite ne tũwarar he šoṛo bái, zar hota tũwara ãre hoila?" Ar hibaye hodde, "Allaye tore rahamot gorok, oh fut!"When Joseph looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother’s son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” Then he declared, “May God be gracious to you, my son.”

30Toi Yusufe toratori goijje, kiyollahoile báiyore dekiyore hibar foran hainde. Yusufe ekkan handibar zaga tuwaibolla henttu niyoli giyegoi, ar hiba nizor kamerat góille edde hainde.Joseph hurried out because he was moved to tears for his brother, and he went to a private room to weep.

31Bade hibaye muk dúi bade abar baire niyoli aišše, edde nizore sõli loi, ar hána bari dibolla hokum diye.Then he washed his face and came back out. Regaining his composure, he said, “Serve the meal.”

32Toi hitara hiballa, edde hibar báiyain okkololla, edde hibar fũwati Mišoriyo okkol zara hána hóya, hitara beggunore aleda gori hána bari diya oiye, kiyollahoile Mišoriyo okkole Ibroni okkolor fũwati hafiya no gorito, haron hiyan aššilde hitarar hãse ekkan hingšar ham.They separately served Joseph, his brothers, and the Egyptians. They ate separately because the Egyptians would not eat with the Hebrews, since that was detestable to them.

33Yusufor sarme báiyain okkolore hitarar boyoš mozin buwaiye. Henot hitara tajjuf oi ekzone oinno zonor uzu sa šuru goijje.They were seated before Joseph in order by age, from the firstborn to the youngest, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.

34Yusufe hitar nizor ṭebilottu kissu kissu hána báiyaindore dibolla bebosta goijje. Kintu oinno báiyain beggunottuwaro Benyaminore fãs gun beši diya oiye. Ar hitara Yusufor fũwati beša beši há fiya goijje edde beši kuši goijje.When the portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times larger than any of the others. So they feasted and drank freely with Joseph.
